Owning a reliable backup power source is becoming increasingly easier as members understand their energy needs and costs associated with their connected lifestyle. For GVEC members, investing in an Enphase battery system offers a smart, sustainable solution. Whether paired with solar panels or used as a standalone product, an Enphase battery can be charged from the electric grid when your home’s use is the lowest, offering multiple benefits to both homeowners and the Texas electric grid.
How Does It Work?
GVEC purchases electricity from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) generation market and passes that price directly onto its members without markup. However, prices can vary based on seasonal demand and overall usage. Typically, electricity usage peaks when people return home from work, engage in evening routines, cook dinner and use multiple appliances. During these high-demand periods, using a battery backup can significantly reduce strain on the grid.
By charging your Enphase battery overnight when electric demand is reduced, you can store energy for use during peak hours. If you have solar panels, your battery system can also charge during the day, allowing you to use stored solar power during peak times.
